Yesterday I called my mother to tell her I had left my job. I was uneasy about it, my mother tends to worry too much and I didn't want to distress her. My worries were unwarranted, she asked me what my current plans were, and I told her I would walk and then most likely go back to Mexico.
My mother was just as happy as when I told her that I was leaving to work to Spain. She told me to enjoy my remaining time here and sent me her blessings. Perhaps this is the most important preparation work, if leave for a journey with things unsaid, the unsaid things will be carried as mental baggage, and I'm clearing myself of all the baggage I can.
Let this be a minimalist walk.
